AuthorBarbara Poczyniak, R.Ac, Reg. Acupuncturist Pain during intercourse or foreplay is also known as dyspareunia. It is surprisingly common among women and may occur at different stages of life for different reasons. In the landmark “Sex in America” survey it was estimated that 20% of women experience dyspareunia. Other estimates are even higher, reporting that up to 3 out of 4 women will experience this type of pain at some time in their lives. Does this affect you and if so, how to find help?
